Sometimes I will make the Piled joke about myself, but that's usually when I'm referring to the stacks of books and papers in my office. :) But when other people make it to or about me or other people, I don't find it funny.
I had to tell one of my partners to stop making "do you want fries with that?"-related comments about my being on the academic job market for positions in liberal arts this fall. He thought those jokes were hilarious. I thought it was pretty darn rude to imply that I've spent six years of my life at a "play job" training to work at minimum wage.

So. Um. Not just you.
